Electronic ignition will have an ignition module on the firewall or somewhere else in the car (also known as a chrome, orange box); I don't see one in your 'pic.  Also, there will be a pickup coil inside of your distributor.  You can google some images of these items to give you a better idea...

looks like you have electronic ignition. Look across from the alternator by the horns. That orange control box mounted on wall is the control box for it. Possible it was converted from points to electronic because of the control box location. Not sure if that is where the factory installed electronic ignition control box would go. Either way you have electronic ignigtion.
